Commentary on Psalms 42:11
Theological / DevotionalWhy art thou cast down? The second occurrence of the refrain. In this case minor changes of form appear, with the refrain augmented by the words “and my God.” Note the change from “his countenance” (v. 5) to “my countenance, and my God” of this verse. In v. 5 David was addressing his soul; here he seems to claim God for his very own, with striking intimacy (see Ps. 43:5).
